Raw Meat
Posted on Wednesday, August 11th, 2010 at 9:24 pmI just spent the better part of an hour cutting up chicken. I bought chicken today since it was on sale. Usually when I buy fresh chicken, I open the package and freeze each breast individually in its own little ziplock baggie. Today I decided while I was at it, I might as well cut up some of it for dinners I have on the menu for this week. I only cut up 4 breasts. It takes me so long because I’m so disgusted by the whole process. I only ever buy boneless skinless chicken breasts since that’s about all I can handle. One time we cooked a whole chicken and another time we cooked a turkey. On each of those occasions, I made Taylor pull out all of the nasty guts. And he used to be vegetarian. It takes me forever to cut up the boneless skinless chicken breasts because I won’t touch them with my bare hands. I use a fork and a knife and I’m very careful about the chicken not touching anything besides the cutting board and the fork and knife. I don’t know why I’m so grossed out by it. As I was cutting, I was thinking about this whole process that I do and started to wonder why I even eat meat at all. I have had beef only once or twice in the last seven years, just because Taylor doesn’t eat it. I remember making meat loaf once when I was a teenager and was totally grossed out, having to stick my hands in and mix up the ingredients. Now I don’t eat it and I can’t even fathom why people like it. We don’t eat a ton of meat, but we do have it and I think I would have a hard time going completely veg. But then again, I would never have to cut up raw chicken again. It might be worth it.
All I can say is there is nothing better than meat. I love me some cow!
Agree with Krystal. Meat is delicious. Beef in spaghetti is a must. Hamburgers/Hot dogs at a BBQ! Pot roast on Sunday after church! Yuuuuum. Can you believe me? I guess that is what a year and a half in Germany will do. Oh, and my meat-obsessed husband.
Love, Bree
I can’t stand touching it. But I like Eating it.
Same here! I can’t live without meat it’s just so good!! Carnitas, carne asada… yuuum! But I just could never see how they’re killed. I think that’s what would make me go veg.
You would have hated to be at my house yesterday. I found whole chickens on sale and bought three of them. I spent the better part of the afternoon cutting them up, bagging and putting them in the freezer. Meat is a must for me so it is worth it.
We eat a lot of chicken and fish over here. Beef is a rarity, but I still like it. I buy ground turkey instead of ground beef. #1 because it is CHEAPER, and #2 it is healthier! Win win!
I hate cutting up chicken also, so gross and slimy. I try to avoid it at all costs. I made BBQ chicken last night and while it was marinating I saw an article about how poultry has a high probability of giving you food poisoning, after that I couldn’t eat a single bite of it for dinner. So I feel your pain. Also, never watch Food Inc. I watched about 10 seconds of it and didn’t want to see anymore.
